The Newberg Rifle & Pistol Club promotes the safe enjoyment of shooting sports.
Emphasis is placed upon training for younger members,
with several certified instructors available to help with practical advice
and safety instruction on the range, as well as more formal classroom instruction.
The club has developed a training course for members interested in obtaining
concealed handgun licences. The course includes elements on handgun mechanisims,
safety procedures, Oregon law on concealed carry and defensive use of a deadly
weapon, and ends with individual instruction taking attendees through a
live-fire course.
This meets the Oregon state requirements for the issue of a concealed
handgun license. The course is now available to the public.
For information on dates, location and cost please contact the club
secretary at the address and telephone number listed at the end of this page.
The club has use of an all-purpose 50 ft indoor range, suitable for .22 rifle,
and all calibers of pistol shooting. The range was constructed by the
Gibbs Community Club with grants from the Newberg Community Foundation,
Oregon's Department of Fish and Wildlife and the National Rifle Association,
as well as contributions from local business and its members.
The range is co-located with the Gibbs School on Bell Road, at the junction
with Quarry Road, just north of the town of Newberg.
Restoration of the school, which is one of the few remaining original
one room wooden construction school houses still in existence, and the only such
on its original site in Yamhill county, is now complete and the school houses a museum.
There are currently two meetings per week, Wednesday, from 7pm until 9:00pm for
.22 rifle practice, and Thursdays from 6:30pm until 9:00pm for pistol practice.
The club business meetings, beginning at 7:00 PM, are currently held on the last Tuesday of the month.
Membership is currently $20 per year, with a $2 range fee for each evening's use
(targets provided, bring your own ammunition).
The range address is:
15955 N.E. Quarry Rd.
